A 3 Yr Silk Ivory Tree Has Only A Few Branches On West Side Of Tree Giving It A Lopsided Appearance.

Question

A professional planted the tree & trimmed some more dead branches from that same sparse side last summer. The tree is in an open area that receives full sun but never really developed on that one side. Should I have it removed or will it eventually start branching out on that sparse side?

Answer 1

You can try pruning it; that should encourage branching.
